Alma Print Daemon 1.3.0

General release version, Windows only.

This version of the Alma Print Daemon adds support for multiple printer profiles (#8), allowing each Alma Printout Queue to be serviced by a different physical local/network printer.

The Alma Print Daemon installer provides options to install per workstation or per user (#13). In either case, each workstation user will have their own alma-print-config.json file containing their preferred settings.

Also, you may now specify color or greyscale printing (#17) for each local/network printer servicing an Alma Printout Queue.

Upon first running this version, the existing alma-print-config.json file will be converted to a new format to support #8. Please save your existing alma-print-config.json file first if you may switch back to version 1.2.0.

Installing this version will overwrite your current Alma Print Daemon.
This release is Windows only.
